I have no reason to doubt its existence, so disagree about it existing in the first place. The first and second temples are fact. The second temple, destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD is fact, and astonishingly, archaeology has finally uncovered evidence that the reign of King David was actually happened.

My guess is it was the Babylonians that carried it off between the first temple and second temple eras.
